Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with bowel obstruction. However, an ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of chronic bowel obstruction as well as acute bowel obstructions, and complications including incarcerated hernias. Abdominal ultrasound is also useful in patients that are allergic to contrast media, are pregnant or are bed-ridden.
Ultrasound
- Abdominal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications, such as incarcerated hernia.[1][2][3][4]
- Abdominal ultrasound may be particularly useful in specific patients suspected of bowel obstruction such as:
- Patients allergic to contrast media
- Pregnant patients
- Bed-ridden patients
- As ultrasound can be performed as a bedside test
Limitations of ultrasound
- Despite ultrasound being a more sensitive and specific modality than plain X-ray, it cannot determine the following:
- Gas-filled structures
- Location of obstruction
- Etiology of obstruction
- Presence of complications
